Surprised nobody's reported on this yet. Star Wars movies are getting released in the cinema again. In 3D.

Quote
The entire Star Wars film saga is to be converted into 3D, director George Lucas has announced.

A statement on the Star Wars website said: "The cutting edge conversion will take that immersion to the next thrilling level."

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace is expected to be released in 2012, with the other films to follow.

Last month, it was announced that 3D films had helped boost UK box office takings by 8%.

It had been reported that Lucas had delayed converting the Star Wars movies into 3D until there were enough screens available to screen them.

Following the success of James Cameron's Avatar, which broke several box office records, 3D movies have become more common.

This year, Alice In Wonderland, Toy Story 3 and Shrek Forever After were all released in 3D and proved to be a big hit at cinemas.

But reactions to the news about Star Wars have been mixed.

"Watching TPM (The Phantom Menace) in 3D would be like the car actually crashing into your face as opposed to just unfolding before your eyes," British Star Trek actor and science fiction fan Simon Pegg said on micro-blogging site Twitter.

Pegg put it better than I ever could! I mean, really George?

Yeah, I knew about that 3D shizz George spouting for a while now.
When I had heard about it, I just shook my head. :smhid
George just continuing to milk/choke his creation.
Simon Pegg definitely hit that on the head, fo sho.

Damn you George!  :scolding: A true definition of a modern capitalist.  Why not make a film version of KOTOR instead? That would be awesome.

George Lucas continuing to ruin the Star Wars films for everyone. This time he adds another Darth Vader 'NOOOO' in Return of the Jedi in the Blu-Ray release:



Yes it's genuine. I'm not as big a SW fanboy anymore but this just seems unnecessary. Vader showed he cared simply by intervening.

I don't know why he continues to change things when we like the series the way it was originally...
